student meeting sunday evening at christmas hall was an extremely interesting one and very well attended t a morgan 04 led upon the subject is christian living worth the cost ?" he treated these words in a rearkably interest ing and novel way basing his re marks upon the verse in ii tim othy l t have fought a good fight i have finished my course i havj kept the faith henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of right eousness which the lord the right ecus judge shall give me at thai day among other things mr morgan said that he wished to treat the sub ject from the negative side and bring out the arguments of a non christian man and see if they could be successfully answered the main objections such a man would have to christian living not being worth the cost were : 1 it demanded consistency in living 2 it meant a struggle and hence restraint would be necessary 3 it meant activity it was im ible for such as man to be missive these three points were more ■ i and it was left to th : present to decide for them ther 1 hristian living really was worth the cost or not a number of irt in the open discussii very in thougl re hardly touched upon in the : ment.-j that remained

mas hall these blanks are for the purpose of securing not only the latest addresses but also the senior honors and therefore self interest if nothing else should cause them to be promptly attended to they should be filled out clearly and neatly with the matter that each man wishes to have printed under his name in the 1905 epitome and we earnestly request that every senior fill out one of them as soon as he possibly can this part of the registration has been purposeh delayed so as to allow the insertion of the latest honors so now the time is very limited notices of this registration will be

ever witnessed in the home gym lehigh was de feated on saturday by the strong aggregation from yale time and again the referree's whistle was blown for fouls on both sides but undeterred the combatants threw rules and regulations to the winds and engaged all the more fiercely there is no excuse we can give for the result except that the home team did not use the skill and judg ment for which they are character ized but attempted to gain the day by sheer brute force andy and beggs particularly were at fault of all on the team had have played their usual game the result no doubt would have been different johnny powell played his usual good game as forward and all the goals from the field may be credited to him in the first half yale scored thre2 times before lehigh could wake up , viz two points on fouls and two from a field goal lehigh then did awaken and shot basket after bas ket and when the first half ended the score was 11 6 in our favor everybody was impatient for the second half to begin as it presaged a repition of the first half but the home team seemed to lose spirit and scored only 3 points in this half to yale's 14 frequently in this half double fouls were called on both sides and one of yale's players was forced to retire from the game on iccount of a collision with a door the house was packed and good support in the way of cheering urged the combatants on to still greater exertions but to no avail and vvhefl finally the referree's vvhilstle sounded yale was mastei of the situation score 20-14 im mediately after the game an infor mal dance

engineering 1 text books which appeared in the engineering record for january 23 1904 probably professor mfansfield merriman has done more than any other one man in this country to prove the possibility of presenting an engineering subejet in a clear manner and without any sacrifice of scientific precision he was ap parently the first to recognize that a text book must be written for young men with only a limited scientific training and yet be as thorough and accurate as a paper presented before a scientific so ciety the example he set has been foflowed by many others until to day nobody has to worry over the ambiguities and cliff useness of the old time books in fact it would not be possible to give really thor ough instruction in all tllie courses taught to-day in four years
